Sustainability Soirée - DC Climate Week 2026
The Sustainability Soirée is an invitation-only opportunity to convene, connect and celebrate seasoned (15+ years of experience) practitioners who have a common dedication to making an impact on climate and sustainability in this decisive decade of action. These events are elevated but informal - no speakers or agendas - and offer the opportunity for endless synergies and ideas that flow when we convene and connect changemakers who have been working in this space for a long time but don’t otherwise have a chance to meet. We have coalesced a vibrant community of nearly 1,000 professionals who look forward to attending Sustainability Soirées to build new connections, collaborations, and friendships.
If you would like to express interest in joining this community, please register with your professional credentials. Please note that the Sustainability Soirée is specifically focused on gathering seasoned sustainability and climate professionals with 15+ years of experience who are deploying their passion across a variety of fields and sectors including federal, state, and local government, NGOs and think tanks, corporations, academia, consulting, finance, trade associations, multilateral and international development institutions, philanthropic organizations, and beyond.
We are once again honored that so many members of the Sustainability Soirée community have stepped up to help generously underwrite the costs of cocktails and hor d’oeuvres for the evening. Please join us in thanking the following organizations:
